I've run into this a few times too. The exception should be a little more 
informative about what's wrong with your N arguments (or get a different 
exception, indicating the issue a little more clearly.)

I usually get caught out when I pass a float instead of an integer. I'm 
wondering whether it is viable for IronPython to check whether converting the 
parameter(s) to the intended type (eg. float -> int) is something that might 
work, and if so use that. It could be that I'm just lazy but this is how C# works.
